Jeremy Vine helps fellow victims tormented by DJ Alex

Jeremy Vine has been offering support to fellow victims who have suffered from the relentless harassment of ex-BBC Radio DJ Alex Belfield. One of the victims, 41-year-old Phil Dehany, revealed that the ordeal led him to contemplate suicide. Belfield was convicted and sentenced to over five years in prison last September for stalking Dehany, Vine, and two others who had connections to the BBC from 2012 to 2021.

According to a report  Vine has taken legal action against Belfield and has received substantial damages and an apology for the lies and abuse he endured. Dehany, on the other hand, has initiated a crowdfunding campaign to aid in covering his legal expenses. He expressed his gratitude for Vine’s support, stating, “Jeremy has been brilliant. We’ve got a WhatsApp group, and he reaches out to make sure everybody’s okay. He even took us out for dinner.”

Vine has launched a civil case against the harasser and received substantial damages and an apology for the lies and abuse he endured.

Dehany, who has started crowdfunding to help with legal costs, told the newspaper: 'Jeremy has been ­brilliant. We've got a WhatsApp group and he reaches out to make sure everybody's okay. He even took us out for dinner.' 

Jeremy Vine has pledged his support to fellow victims of the online stalker Alex Belfield, who he describes as the 'Jimmy Savile of trolling'. The BBC Radio 2 host, 58, was a victim of vile social media posts and emails from DJ Belfield.

As reported , Phil Dehany, a 41-year-old theatre blogger, was also a target of Belfield. Phil shared that he was driven to the brink of suicide by Belfield’s torment.

In September, Belfield, from Mapperley, was jailed for five-and-a-half years for stalking Vine, Dehany and two other men with links to the BBC, from 2012 to 2021. Vine launched a civil case against the stalker and won an apology and substantial damages for the abuse, lies and harassment he faced.

Gervase de Wilde, representing Jeremy Vine during the trial at Nottingham Crown Court, asserted that Belfield had made entirely false allegations in various YouTube videos and tweets. These false claims included accusations of Vine being “seriously and demonstrably dishonest” regarding his knowledge of the circumstances surrounding a £1,000 payment by the BBC for a memorial event.
